He died in December 2009 at the age of 89.[1] Early life and war serviceBorn in Broadford, Victoria in August 1920, he was educated at Kingswood College in Melbourne before becoming a Commonwealth public servant. After serving in the Royal Australian Navy in World War II 1941–46, he became a drapery and hardware merchant. He played Australian rules football for Acton in the Canberra Australian National Football League and while captain of Acton in 1947 won the Mulrooney Medal.[2] Political careerIn 1966, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Liberal member for Lalor, defeating long-serving Labor member Reg Pollard. He held the seat until 1969, when a redistribution erased his majority and gave Labor a notional six-percent majority. Believing this made Lalor impossible to hold, Lee unsuccessfully contested the nearby seat of Bendigo.[3] References1. ^Herald Sun.
